  "verification": "verified",
  "calculation": "Read as the per-domain competitor column for the chosen domain, with your own leg selected by your rank in the tracked-competitor roster, under the AI Overview results-page feature filter. The semantic layer counts that domain's present rows and divides by the number of distinct observed days, so the value is a per-day average and not a period total. It is co-surfaced with the results-page count precisely because dividing the two reproduces the inclusion rate: a live reconciliation gives 33,721.5 over 98,007, which the product displays as 34.41%.",
  "aggregation": "A daily average, the count of distinct observed days is the divisor, so it is never summed across the period. Divide by the co-surfaced results-page count to recover the inclusion rate.",

  "caveats": [
    "It counts results pages, averaged per day. It is not a period total and not an impression count, so multiplying it by the number of days does not give a period figure.",
    "Its denominator is a per-day average on the same basis, which is what makes the ratio of the two a clean rate rather than a mixed one.",
